mwiener2 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 How about that new Buick that offers heated windshield washer fluid "up to 149 degrees". I wonder how many windshield's GM will be replacing due to this "feature"? Nothing new. Audi, MB, and BMW all do it too. It's just a coolent line that runs through the wiper tank.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 All this technology and still no ball massager. I'm serious- this would be a wonderful feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndas Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 My dealer told me it was the front defrost button that activated them, so shows how much they know... But more importantly, does anyone actually need/want/use this feature? Even living in New Hampshire where I very frequently use the window defrosters, I've never seen my outside mirrors need it... I be using it all the time out here on the left coast!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougc Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 It is the defrost button next to where you can adjust the side mirrors. That turns on the heated mirrors and windshield heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougc Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 lucky for me....I had a rock kick up on the highway and crack the OEM windshield...insurance paid 100% ($700) for a new PPG with the heating element. I now have a windshield far superior than the OEM ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernVTGT Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Other blanks by the wiper defroster? Blanks for features I do not have are always so intriguing. Maybe for the headlight tilt up/down adjustment on Euro models? Probably our same basic dash goes in LHD Europe models. I remember the this feature being on all European cars from my travels...

eL GaTo Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Bulldog.............since the glove box is always open, you can leave the manual open for easy reading.

TC100 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Why does my car create heat so fast? I start my car on 47 degree morning, let it warm up for 10 seconds and then drive less then 100 yard, boom, I've got heat. How is that possible? It does it all the time. I'm 41, this isn't my first car, and the only thing I know that creates heat quicker is a jet engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan42025 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Just one more, there are some blanks down by the heated wiper button. Don't want the BMW i-Drive but sometimes... How about voice command control? "Computer, turn heat on left side mirror" NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biturbowagon Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 My brother's GTI has a separate button. He forgot to turn it off. They burned out. My Audi's turn on when I open the door when the ambient temperature is low. Then they turn off automatically. They work great. The Subaru's solution is more elegant than the GTI, and only slightly less elegant than the Audi's. Thanks. But why not a separate button? Maybe over by the window switches? Other cars I've owned do that. Maybe the rear window doesn't need defoging just the mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 The heated mirrors are essential if you park in an indoor heated garage in the winter. By the time I've taken my ticket from the machine and got through the barrier, all of the glass on the car is covered with condensation (on the outside).

amex Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 If your car has a factory installed gps/computer, you can use it to change the setting for your mirrors from a 15 minutes shut off mode, to the Continuous running mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
